RE: [ST] Tire Blues

What pressure do you typically run on the front tire?  I'm on my fourth
set of Avons on a 400-lb Hawk and have seen no cupping.  But it's not a
Sprint.  The Dunlop on the front of Skittles is pretty badly cupped,
could have been under inflation, I have no way of knowing.

I've run both the Pilot Roads and Avon 45/46 combos.  Both were great in

general, but the Avon tended to cup in the front.  No sign of that on
the 
Michelin yet, have about 4k miles on them.
